4 p.m…
JOYFUL Sunday, everyone!
The following verses are among our favorites and we have appropriated them throughout Irene’s journey…
Psalm 69:9a
“…for zeal for your house consumes me…” (Application: We are obsessed with Him and His Kingdom…and will remain steadfast and committed throughout this journey)
Job 13:15
“…though he slay me, yet will I hope in him…” (Application: Nevertheless, no matter what happens, we trust Him because He is trustworthy)
Philippians 1:21
“For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.” (Application: He is all that matters and all that we live…and die for!)
Proverbs 18:14
“A man’s (or woman’s) spirit sustains her in sickness, but a crushed spirit who can bear?” (Application: Your well wishes, prayer support and Irene’s gentle but enduring (TOUGH) spirit are powerful!!)
